Next, an operation is described.
To spread pieces of transmission data of the channels CH1 to CH-N so as to produce transmission data of a wide frequency band for each channel, in each of the channel sections 1 to 3 corresponding to the channels CH1 to CH-N, the transmission data of a corresponding channel is multiplied by a spread code peculiar to the corresponding channel, and the pieces of transmission data of the channels CH1 to CH-N are respectively spread-modulated.
After the pieces of transmission data of the channels CH1 to CH-N are respectively spread-modulated in the channel sections 1 to 3, amplitudes of the pieces of transmission data of the channels CH1 to CH-N are respectively controlled in the electric power control units 6 to 8 to set electric powers of the pieces of transmission data of the channels CH1 to CH-N to prescribed electric power values set in advance.
After the amplitudes of the pieces of transmission data of the channels CH1 to CH-N are controlled in the electric power control units 6 to 8, the pieces of transmission data of the channels CH1 to CH-N output from the electric power control units 6 to 8 are added to each other in the multiplexing unit 9 to be multiplexed with each other, and a base band signal composed of an I component and a Q component is output.
After a digital signal indicating the base band signal is converted to an analog signal indicating the base band signal in the D/A converting unit 10, the analog base band signal is orthogonally modulated in the orthogonal modulating unit 12 by using a carrier wave generated in the carrier wave generating unit 11, and a transmission signal is output.
After the transmission signal is output from the orthogonal modulating unit 12, the electric power of the transmission signal is corrected in the variable attenuator 13 according to a correction signal output from the D/A converting unit 21.
More precisely, though the electric powers of the pieces of transmission data are set in the electric power control units 6 to 8, because there is a case where an electric power of the transmission signal radiated from the antenna 16 deviates from a desired value for electric power (in cases where the electric power of the transmission signal deviates from a desired value for electric power, a channel corresponding to the transmission data of a high electric power may interfere with a channel corresponding to the transmission data of a low electric power), the electric power of the transmission signal is corrected in the variable attenuator 13 according to the correction signal.
For example, in cases where the correction signal indicates the heightening of the electric power of the transmission signal, the electric power of the transmission signal is corrected to heighten the electric power of the transmission signal. In contrast, in cases where the correction signal indicates the lowering of the electric power of the transmission signal, the electric power of the transmission signal is corrected to lower the electric power of the transmission signal. A method of producing the correction signal is described later.
After the electric power of the transmission signal is corrected in the variable attenuator 13, the transmission signal is modulated to a transmission signal of a radio frequency band in the radio transmitter 14, and the transmission signal is radio-transmitted through the antenna 16.
Therefore, the transmission signal is radio-transmitted. However, in cases where the electric power of the transmission signal deviates from a desired value for electric power, to set the electric power of the transmission signal to the desired electric power value, the electric power of the transmission signal distributed in the distributor 15 is detected in the diode 17, and a detection signal indicating the electric power of the transmission signal is output.
Thereafter, when the pieces of transmission data are output from the electric power control units 6 to 8, the electric powers of the pieces of transmission data are measured in the electric power correcting unit 20. The electric power of each piece of transmission data is, for example, measured by substituting an I component and a Q component of the transmission data into a following equation for I and Q and converting the I component and the Q component to values equivalent to the electric powers of the I and Q components.
After the electric power of each piece of transmission data is measured, the electric power correcting unit 20 searches the electric power table stored in the data storing unit 19 for an electric power value (a desired electric power value) of the transmission signal corresponding to a summed value of the electric powers of the pieces of transmission data.
After the desired electric power value is retrieved from the electric power table, the desired electric power value is compared in the electric power correcting unit 20 with the electric power value (that is, an analog detection signal output from the A/D converting unit 18) of the transmission signal transmitted from the antenna 16. In cases where the desired electric power value agrees with the electric power value of the transmission signal, the electric power of the transmission signal does not deviate from a desired value for electric power. In contrast, in cases where the desired electric power value does not agree with the electric power value of the transmission signal, because the electric power of the transmission signal deviates from a desired value for electric power, a correction signal depending on the difference between the electric power of the transmission signal and the desired electric power value is produced in the electric power correcting unit 20.
For example, in cases where the electric power value of the transmission signal transmitted from the antenna 16 is lower than the desired electric power value, a correction signal is produced which indicates the heightening of the electric power of the transmission signal. In contrast, in cases where the electric power value of the transmission signal transmitted from the antenna 16 is higher than the desired electric power value, a correction signal is produced which indicates the lowering of the electric power of the transmission signal.
Here, a digital signal, which indicates the correction signal produced in the electric power correcting unit 20, is converted to an analog signal in the D/A converting unit 21, and the analog correction signal is transmitted to the variable attenuator 13.
Because the conventional CDMA type multiple transmission apparatus has the configuration described above, the electric power of the transmission signal transmitted from the antenna 16 can agree with the desired electric power value on condition that the electric powers of the pieces of transmission data output from the electric power control units 6 to 8 and the electric power of the transmission signal are correctly measured. However, in cases where a diode detection or the like is used to correctly measure the electric power of the transmission signal, a difference between an average value of the electric power and an effective value of the electric power becomes large because of the influence of a peak factor of the electric power. Therefore, there is a problem that the electric power of the transmission signal cannot be precisely corrected (though a unit is known, in which the effective value of the electric power is converted to a direct current voltage to measure the electric power of the transmission signal from the direct current voltage, since a response speed in the unit is low, the electric power of the transmission signal cannot be also precisely corrected in the unit).
Also, in cases where an electric power ratio among the electric powers of the pieces of transmission data set in the electric power control units 6 to 8 is changed, it is required to change the electric power table stored in the data storing unit 19 to another electric power table according to the changing of the electric power ratio. Therefore, in cases where the electric power ratio among the pieces of transmission data is changed in an online operation, it is required to store a plurality of electric power tables corresponding to various electric power ratios in advance. However, because a large number of electric power ratios exist, it is not realistic to store a plurality of electric power tables fitted to all types of electric power ratios. Therefore, there is another problem that the electric power ratio of the pieces of transmission data set in the electric power control units 6 to 8 is limited.
An object of the present invention is to provide, with due consideration to the drawbacks of the conventional CDMA type multiple transmission apparatus and the conventional CDMA type multiple transmission method, a CDMA type multiple transmission apparatus and a CDMA type multiple transmission method in which an electric power of a transmission signal is precisely corrected without storing an electric power table fitted to an electric power ratio of pieces of transmission data.

Next, an operation is described.
To spread pieces of transmission data of the channels CH1 to CH-N so as to produce transmission data of a wide frequency band for each channel, in each of the channel sections 31 to 33 corresponding to the channels CH1 to CH-N, the transmission data of a corresponding channel is multiplied by a spread code peculiar to the corresponding channel, and the pieces of transmission data of the channels CH1 to CH-N are respectively spread-modulated (step ST1).
After the pieces of transmission data of the channels CH1 to CH-N are respectively spread-modulated in the channel sections 31 to 33, amplitudes of the pieces of transmission data of the channels CH1 to CH-N are respectively controlled in the electric power control units 36 to 38 to set electric powers of the pieces of transmission data of the channels CH1 to CH-N to prescribed electric power values set in advance(step ST2).
After the amplitudes of the pieces of transmission data of the channels Ch1 to CH-N are controlled in the electric power control units 36 to 38, the pieces of transmission data of the channels Ch1 to CH-N output from the electric power control units 36 to 38 are added to each other in the multiplexing unit 39 to be multiplexed with each other, and a base band signal composed of an I component and a Q component is output (step ST3).
After a digital signal indicating the base band signal is converted to an analog signal in the D/A converting unit 40, the analog base band signal output from the D/A converting unit 40 is corrected in the vector adjusting unit 42 according to error signals output from the comparing unit 49 (step ST4).
That is, though the electric powers of the pieces of transmission data are set in the electric power control units 36 to 38, because there is a case where an electric power of the transmission signal transmitted from the antenna 46 deviates from a desired value for electric power, the base band signal is corrected in the vector adjusting unit 42 according to the error signals (the I component of the base band signal is corrected according to the error signal of the I component, and the Q component of the base band signal is corrected according to the error signal of the Q component).
For example, in cases where the error signal of the I component (or the Q component) indicates the heightening of the amplitude of the I component (or the Q component) of the base band signal, the base band signal is corrected to heighten the amplitude of the I component (or the Q component) of the base band signal. In contrast, in cases where the error signal of the I component (or the Q component) indicates the lowering of the amplitude of the I component (or the Q component) of the base band signal, the base band signal is corrected to lower the amplitude of the I component (or the Q component) of the base band signal. A method of producing the error signals is described later.
After the base band signal is corrected in the vector adjusting unit 42, the base band signal is orthogonally modulated in the orthogonal modulating unit 43 by using a carrier wave generated in the carrier wave generating unit 41, and a transmission signal is output (step ST5).
After the transmission signal is output from the orthogonal modulating unit 43, the transmission signal is modulated to a transmission signal of a radio frequency band in the radio transmitter 44, and the transmission signal is radio-transmitted through the antenna 46 (step ST6).
Therefore, the transmission signal is radio-transmitted. However, in cases where the electric power of the transmission signal deviates from a desired value for electric power, to set the electric power of the transmission signal to the desired electric power value, the transmission signal distributed in the distributor 45 is received in the radio receiver 47, the transmission signal is orthogonally demodulated in the orthogonal demodulating unit 48, and a demodulated base band signal is output from the orthogonal demodulating unit 48.
Thereafter, the I component of the base band signal output from the D/A converting unit 40 is compared in the comparing unit 49 with the I component of the demodulated base band signal output from the orthogonal demodulating unit 48, and the error signal of the I component is output. Also, the Q component of the base band signal output from the D/A converting unit 40 is compared in the comparing unit 49 with the Q component of the demodulated base band signal output from the orthogonal demodulating unit 48, and the error signal of the Q component is output.
For example, in cases where the electric power value of the transmission signal transmitted from the antenna 46 is lower than the desired electric power value, error signals are output which indicate the heightening of the electric power of the transmission signal. In contrast, in cases where the electric power value of the transmission signal transmitted from the antenna 46 is higher than the desired electric power value, the error signals are output which indicate the lowering of the electric power of the transmission signal.
Here, the error signals output from the comparing unit 49 are transmitted to the vector adjusting unit 42, and both the I component and the Q component of the base band signal to be output to the orthogonal modulating unit 43 are corrected according to the error signals as is described above.
As is apparently described above, in the first embodiment, the base band signal output from the D/A converting unit 40 is compared with the demodulated base band signal output from the orthogonal demodulating unit 48, and the base band signal output from the D/A converting unit 40 is corrected according to the compared result. Accordingly, the electric power of the transmission signal can be precisely corrected without storing an electric power table fitted to an electric power ratio of the pieces of transmission data.
